[libvirt] [PATCH] network: bridge: Don't start network if it collides with host routing
Fedora bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=235961
If using the default virtual network, an easy way to lose guest network
connectivity is to install libvirt inside the VM. The autostarted
default network inside the guest collides with host virtual network
routing. This is a long standing issue that has caused users quite a
bit of pain and confusion.
On network startup, parse /proc/net/route and compare the requested
IP+netmask against host routing destinations: if any matches are found,
refuse to start the network.
Caveat: I'm not very networking savvy
